Topic: multi smtp

[pelli]

Hello, i would like setup two external smtp based from email domain.

ex: test@test.com     the domain test use smtp.test.com with auth

ex: john@john.com  the domain john use smtp.john.com with auth in ssl mode

Is possible?

Thanks

AFAIK this can be achieved using a custom template for /var/qmail/control/smtproutes

but I would wait for Charlie's advice

just a question: you'd like to do so or you must do in that way?

i must use that way.... first account is normal email...second account is certified email account (italian pec)

[Stefano]

what about posting in italian forum too?

in any case, I would setup pec email smtp server on each client.. SME is not involved at all

I don't know exactly what pelli wants or why.

SME server only supports one outbound authenticated email route, configured via the server-manager. To support more than one authenticated outbound route, you would need  more than one instance of the smtp auth proxy, as well as a custom template in smtproutes. This is something I expect pelli doesn't actually need, and may not have the skills to do.

I agree with Stefano, do that directly from the email client.

the second part is easy enough (already done with some customers of mine)
I've done some digging into smtp-auth-proxy script..
IIUC, I could run more than one instance changing the listening port (example 27) and create a new entry into /var/service dir (with all the related files..)

is it so?

TIA

Correct. However I don't understand why you would be wanting to do this. I think you would be defeating the purpose of their requiring authentication if you do proxy authentication on behalf of the real senders.

indeed..

mine was only  curiosity

@pelli: please configure each client to use the correct smtp server

[pelli]

ok, thanks
